bounce message: n. [common] Notification message returned to sender by a site unable to
relay email to the intended Internet address
recipient or the next link in a bang path (see
bounce, sense 1). Reasons might include a

see sorcerer's apprentice mode and
software laser. The terms bounce mail and barfmail are also common.
